1 In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and a vision in his head on his bed. And, writing down the dream, he understood it in a concise manner, and so, summarizing it tersely, he said:1 El año primero de Baltasar, rey de Babilonia, Daniel tuvo un sueño y visiones en su mente mientras estaba en la cama. Enseguida escribió el sueño. Comienzo del relato.
2 I saw in my vision at night, and behold, the four winds of the heavens fought upon the great sea.2 Dijo Daniel: Tuve una visión nocturna: Vi que los cuatro vientos del cielo agitaban el océano.
3 And four great beasts, different from one another, ascended from the sea.3 Cuatro bestias gigantescas salieron del mar, distintas una de otra.
4 The first was like a lioness and had the wings of an eagle. I watched as its wings were plucked off, and it was raised from the earth and stood on its feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.4 La primera era como un león con alas de águila; la estaba mirando y de pronto vi que le arrancaban las alas, la alzaron del suelo, la pusieron de pie como un hombre y le dieron un corazón humano.
5 And behold, another beast, like a bear, stood to one side, and there were three rows in its mouth and in its teeth, and they spoke to it in this way: “Arise, devour much flesh.”5 Había una segunda bestia semejante a un oso; estaba medio erguida, con tres costillas en la boca, entre los dientes. Le dijeron: «Levántate. Come carne en abundancia».
6 After this, I watched, and behold, another like a leopard, and it had wings like a bird, four upon it, and four heads were on the beast, and power was given to it.6 Después yo seguía mirando y vi otra bestia como un leopardo, con cuatro alas de ave en el lomo, y esta bestia tenía cuatro cabezas. Y le dieron el poder.
7 After this, I watched in the vision of the night, and behold, a fourth beast, terrible yet wondrous, and exceedingly strong; it had great iron teeth, eating yet crushing, and trampling down the remainder with his feet, but it was unlike the other beasts, which I had seen before it, and it had ten horns.7 Después seguí mirando y en mi visión nocturna contemplé una cuarta bestia, terrible, espantosa y extraordinariamente fuerte; tenía grandes dientes de hierro, con los que comía y descuartizaba; y las sobras las pateaba con las pezuñas. Era distinta de las bestias anteriores, porque tenía diez cuernos.
8 I considered the horns, and behold, another little horn rose out of the midst of them. And three of the first horns were rooted out by its presence. And behold, eyes like the eyes of a man were in this horn, and a mouth speaking unnatural things.8 Miré atentamente los cuernos, y vi que de entre ellos salía otro cuerno pequeño; y arrancaron ante él tres de los cuernos precedentes. Aquel cuerno tenía ojos humanos, y una boca que profería insolencias.
9 I watched until thrones were set up, and the ancient of days sat down. His garment was radiant like snow, and the hair of his head like clean wool; his throne was flames of fire, its wheels had been set on fire.9 Miré y vi que colocaban unos tronos. Un anciano se sentó. | Su vestido era blanco como nieve, su cabellera como lana limpísima; | su trono, llamas de fuego; sus ruedas, llamaradas;
10 A river of fire rushed forth from his presence. Thousands upon thousands ministered to him, and ten thousand times hundreds of thousands attended before him. The trial began, and the books were opened.10 un río impetuoso de fuego brotaba y corría ante él. | Miles y miles lo servían, millones estaban a sus órdenes. | Comenzó la sesión y se abrieron los libros.
11 I watched because of the voice of the great words which that horn was speaking, and I saw that the beast had been destroyed, and its body was ruined and had been handed over to be burnt with fire.11 Yo seguí mirando, atraído por las insolencias que profería aquel cuerno; hasta que mataron a la bestia, la descuartizaron y la echaron al fuego.
12 Likewise, the power of the other beasts was taken away, and a limited time of life was appointed to them, until one time and another.12 A las otras bestias les quitaron el poder, dejándolas vivas una temporada, hasta un tiempo y una hora.
13 I watched, therefore, in the vision of the night, and behold, with the clouds of heaven, one like a son of man arrived, and he approached all the way to the ancient of days, and they presented him before him.13 Seguí mirando. Y en mi visión nocturna | vi venir una especie de hijo de hombre entre las nubes del cielo. | Avanzó hacia el anciano y llegó hasta su presencia.
14 And he gave him power, and honor, and the kingdom, and all peoples, tribes, and languages will serve him. His power is an eternal power, which will not be taken away, and his kingdom, one which will not be corrupted.14 A él se le dio poder, honor y reino. | Y todos los pueblos, naciones y lenguas lo sirvieron. | Su poder es un poder eterno, no cesará. | Su reino no acabará.
15 My spirit was terrified. I, Daniel, was fearful at these things, and the visions of my head disturbed me.15 Yo, Daniel, me sentía agitado por dentro a causa de esto, y me turbaban las visiones de mi mente.
16 I approached one of the attendants and asked the truth from him about all these things. He told me the interpretation of the words, and he instructed me:16 Me acerqué a uno de los que estaban allí en pie y le pedí que me explicase todo aquello. Él me contestó exponiéndome la interpretación de la visión:
17 “These four great beasts are four kingdoms, which will rise from the earth.17 «Esas cuatro bestias gigantescas representan cuatro reinos que surgirán en el mundo.
18 Yet it is the saints of the Most High God who will receive the kingdom, and they will hold the kingdom from this generation, and forever and ever.”18 Pero los santos del Altísimo recibirán el reino y lo poseerán para siempre por los siglos de los siglos».
19 After this, I wanted to learn diligently about the fourth beast, which was very different from all, and exceedingly terrible; his teeth and claws were of iron; he devoured and crushed, and the remainder he trampled with his feet;19 Yo quise saber qué significaba la cuarta bestia, distinta de las demás, terrible, con dientes de hierro y garras de bronce, que devoraba y trituraba, y pateaba las sobras con las pezuñas,
20 and about the ten horns, which he had on his head, and about the other, which had sprung up, before which three horns fell, and about that horn which had eyes and a mouth speaking great things, and which was more powerful than the rest.20 y qué significaban los diez cuernos de su cabeza, y el otro cuerno que le salía y eliminaba a otros tres; aquel cuerno que tenía ojos y una boca que profería insolencias, y era más grande que sus compañeros.
21 I watched, and behold, that horn made war against the holy ones and prevailed over them,21 Mientras yo seguía mirando, aquel cuerno luchó contra los santos y los derrotó.
22 until the Ancient of days came and gave judgment to the holy ones of the Supreme One, and the time arrived, and the holy ones obtained the kingdom.22 Hasta que llegó el anciano para hacer justicia a los santos del Altísimo; se cumplió el tiempo y los santos tomaron posesión del reino.
23 And thus he said, “The fourth beast will be the fourth kingdom on earth, which will be greater than all the kingdoms, and will devour the whole earth, and will trample and crush it.23 Después me dijo: «La cuarta bestia es un cuarto reino que habrá en la tierra, distinto de todos los demás; devorará toda la tierra, la trillará y triturará.
24 Moreover, the ten horns of the same kingdom will be ten kings, and another will rise up after them, and he will be mightier than the ones before him, and he will bring down three kings.24 Sus diez cuernos son diez reyes que habrá en aquel reino; después de ellos vendrá otro distinto que destronará a tres reyes,
25 And he will speak words against the Supreme One, and will exhaust the holy ones of the Most High, and he will think about what it would take to change the times and the laws, and they will be given into his hand until a time, and times, and half a time.25 blasfemará contra el Altísimo, e intentará aniquilar a los santos del Altísimo y cambiar el calendario y la ley. Los santos serán abandonados a su poder durante un año, dos años y medio año.
26 And a trial will begin, so that his power may be taken away, and be crushed, and be undone all the way to the end.26 Pero cuando se siente el tribunal a juzgar, se le quitará el poder y será destruido y aniquilado totalmente.
27 Yet the kingdom, and the power, and the greatness of that kingdom, which is under all of heaven, shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all kings will serve and obey him.”27 El reinado, el dominio y la grandeza de todos los reinos bajo el cielo serán entregados al pueblo de los santos del Altísimo. Su reino será un reino eterno, al que temerán y se someterán todos los soberanos».
28 And here is the end of the message. I, Daniel, was greatly disturbed by my thoughts, and my mood was changed in me, but I preserved the message in my heart.28 Hasta aquí llega el relato. Yo, Daniel, quedé muy turbado con mis pensamientos y se me mudó el semblante; pero guardé todo en mi corazón.
